Zucchini “Pasta” with Pesto

Zucchini noodles are a delicious way to get an extra serving of veggies. This 'pasta' is perfect while zucchini is in season across Canada.

Ingredients

3 zucchini

1 pint grape tomatoes, halved, about 240-350 mL (1-1/2 cups)

160 mL (2/3 cup) basil pesto

1 mL (1/4 tsp) salt

Instructions

Use a spiralizer or grate zucchini lengthwise using the large holes of a box grater, into spaghetti-like noodles. It should measure about 2 L (8 cups).

Place zucchini in a salad spinner or a colander to drain excess liquid, about 15 minutes. Press down gently to remove more liquid.

Transfer to a bowl and toss with tomatoes, pesto and salt until coated. Season with fresh pepper.
